Testimonials

Wow, I am impressed! The original CD player in my 2000 Land Cruiser jammed, and once I decided to keep an otherwise great car, David helped me decide on the best replacement unit. I received clean professional installation of a player that fits my needs perfectly and I am very happy with ALL aspects of Car Tunes service, quality products and installation. Thank you.

these guys are great! i purchased 2008 Porsche 911 and wanted to install a circuit so I could use my iPhone through the existing audio system. From the first conversation Michael was attentive and went the extra mile to ensure they could first do the installation. He called me back that same day with the answer and we scheduled the appointment for the installation. I arrived and Michael had all of the necessary parts on the counter and they started the work immediately. It has worked perfectly! I highly recommend CarTunes!!

I had serius xm installed in my factory radio and the song/artist wasn't displaying properly on the screen. Mike was heavily involved and went the extra mile and solved my problem. I commend him on his efforts and knowledge and was a joy to deal with. Thank You Mike for the superior service.

I just moved to the Clearwater area and wanted to start my new upgrades to my car audio. I wanted to upgrade to something better as I will be traveling longer distances now and wanted better audio. I looked around and even went into a few stores here...not one of them really were helpful and some even just ignored me. The minute I stepped into Car Tunes I was greeted by Dave, first by introducing himself to me and then asked what he could assist with. I am a big believer that great customer service makes a company successful. This is definitely the case at this store. Dave did not try to sell me something I didn't want and listen to my needs. Right now I just got my speakers upgraded and will be coming back periodically to completely finish my system. I also would like to compliment on the actual store its self....very clean, professional. I was totally impressed with my experience. Thank you a bunch and look forward to completing my system.

Hello, I would like to complement Car Tunes for there outstanding and professionalism as a top notch business... I have been dealing with car audio since I was 16 and I am now 40, and I have never been treated with the respect that all the employees starting with the owner Shawn and his wife Darcy, David at the front end, and all the installers that work there asses off in the back to make a system to the way it needs to be... I was working with a stereo company since I was 18, and they just went out of business... I deal with Phoenix Gold product that I am very impressed with and they sent me to Car Tunes... I couldn't have asked for a better company and people to deal with, cause they make you feel right at home and know what they are talking about with there expert knowledge with car audio... I have an intense system with 32 speakers and 9 ten inch subwoofers in a Ford F-150... I have been dealing with them now for two months and wish I new about them when I was 16, being that they have been in the Industry for 32 years... It shows by the way they treat there customers... One thing that really stood out to me and they have taken me in as a lifetime customer was that after doing a add on of 8 speakers and an amplifier under my back seat to get more mids and highs cause of the amount of bass that my truck pushes out, I received a thank you card in the mail thanking me for my business... Now that's how a business is run!!! I in all my years have never received a thank you card for all the $100,000 of thousands of dollars I have spent in these other stereo shops... They have just gained a loyal customer for life, cause the way they run this business, it will be around forever... At least as long as I'm alive!!! I really want to thank them all and I mean everyone that's there even if they aren't working on my truck cause they all greet you with respect!!! Thank you Car Tunes for all you have done for me and my truck in the short two months, cause I guarantee there is no other shop around or even in the U.S. that will treat you the way Car Tunes treats you as a customer....
Thank you again and can't say it enough...

Let me first say that the customer service is absolutely AMAZING!!! From the instant I walked in, Dave was right there to welcome me into this concubine of what is now the pain of my wallets existence. Unlike most reps, he listened to what I was looking for in a audio system in my 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. He recommended some features, that at first I was reluctant to agree to, but I decided for the nominal price difference, what could it hurt. HE WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!! I ended with a full pioneer load out sporting two 10" sub that will rock your body cavity out of the cab and no one will be able to hear you cry for help! Alas, I could dial 911 on the included bluetooth feature through the head unit to come pick you up from becoming a smear on the pavement. I was then naturally hooked.
I came back a week later to purchase HID headlights. Let me just tell you, you can see into tomorrow with these things! I am not a fan of night driving, but being able to provide enough lighting for surrounding commuters, I would say that they perform their job above and beyond. Not only do they look cool as fuck, the wiring was tidied up and hidden so it doesn't look like a rats nest under my hood. From there came the topic of dash cracking. Anyone who owns a ride they are passionate about knows exactly what I am talking about. You get that fuzzy dash cover to hide one eyesore with another. No one wants to see the marianna's trench creeping across their $1000 dashboard with that helpless feeling of despair. Well, you can fix that with some window film to block out the UV. My Black on Black ride is easily 70% cooler when I hop into it from sitting out in the sun for a few hours opposed to before. Best investment above all that I made for comfort.
Upon that installment, next followed a roll-away bedcover since I wanted to have full security in any cargo I might carry. No, not paraphernalia for you younglings out there. (spending your money on the wrong stuff). Upon receiving this cover, it wouldn't fit, no matter what adjustment, nothing fit. Turns out wrong model in the correct box. No damage done to vehicle, I was kept informed of everything that was going on and graciously gave them as much time as needed to finish the job.
I recommend to stop wasting your time in search of the cheap ass shops out there that provide the same product with service similar to anal leakage. Pony up and spend a few more dollars and see where the quality in service come through. You will not once, regret it. Don't be that jerk that thinks your car is the only one they are working on, they are busy for a reason, QUALITY PRODUCT DELIVERY! Give them the time to do the job right and you will never have anything to complain about. Next I will be taking my 240SX there for a complete overhaul and plan on having pictures for references. You don't have to believe me, just go walk in and talk to them. Any of them. Mike, Shawn or Dave......just take the first step, you will know what I am talking about.

CarTunes came highly recommended to me. I wanted to upgrade my 2002 BMW 530I to a much safer system. I had a wonderful Pioneer radio, GPS, Satellite, system designed with Apple, and my Iphone works great. I now have a backup camera for safety. Michael was super helpful, and wonderful to work with. I recommend CarTunes.

Car Tunes deserves a big round of applause for their services. I went into Car Tunes because I'd suddenly lost the whole right channel of my MINI's stereo. I walked in thinking I was due for a new set of speakers at the very least, but Mike helped me troubleshoot the issue. His experience & expertise helped me find the issue (a loose plug) and fix it right away.
I then worked with Dave on the theoretical "what can I do to upgrade my system" question, and he was flat-out brilliant. He listened to my stock system and recommended a quick, simple upgrade of a slimline/shallow 10" subwoofer for the boot and an amp mounted under the seat. What's more, they had availability to do the install THAT DAY. In a few hours my car was out the door, and grinning from ear to ear.
I typically don't make big purchases without research, but i had heard of Car Tunes' reputation ahead of time, and I was so comfortable with Mike and Dave that I bought on the spot. Dave suggested a setup that was very reasonable price-wise, but exceptional in quality and end result. I could not be happier! Car Tunes will be my first and only stop for future car audio needs, and a radar/laser detector when the time comes.
Car Tunes is top-notch, from people to products.

I had a remote start & backup camera installed in my 2014 Challenger. Dave ordered the parts, set up the installation. Everything was done in 2 hours, out the door. Good price too! Very happy with the service.

We have a fleet of vintage taxis ( Checkers) a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars, Ford Vans and 3 party buses. Most all the Checkers got a new radio/ CD player. All the taxis had meters installed and graphics applied and window tint - all done at Car Tunes. This is 1000's of dollars of work done. The few minor glitches we had provided Car Tunes the opportunity to make it right - and they did. Very pleased with prices, installation and SERVICE. Quite simply... best - most reliable place to get a new car stereo, alarm, window tint etc... nice selection of quality stereo's in showroom.

I just left Car Tunes on 02/13/14, I am on a strict budget, but they were $100.00 out the door cheaper than Best Buy!! I walked in and thought they would be expensive, but, they were NOT! They had 1st class service, with everything you could want in a waiting room.. My appointment was at 10:30 and they saw me at 10:30. No bait and switch.. I would rate them 5 STAR all the way around!!

Car Tunes just installed a new stereo (head unit, amp, etc) in my BMW Z4 which now sounds and looks amazing! They built a custom bracket to match the interior which was an odd shape and it now looks better then factory. The service was great, the work excellent, and the sound amazing. I would highly recommend Car Tunes for anyone looking for quality work at affordable prices.

I recommend CarTunes to everyone looking for the best service. I stopped by this morning and David immediately took my car in. Gave me descent price I asked for and finished the installation BEFORE promised time!!! That was my first experience with CarTunes and I chose this place because of a fellow customerís reviews. Hopefully my positive experience will boost your confidence in choosing †CarTunes!

I purchased a preowned, high end Mercedes sedan whose audio system was badly in need of replacement. Michael D. greeted me enthusiastically and provided exceptional service in the audio system replacement selection and install process. Everthing was delivered as promised, on time and under budget!! Exceptional job, Michael D. and the fine staff at Car Tunes, Largo, FL!!

Dave had exceptional customer service, I have been in and out of Car Tunes trying to figure out prices. I always asked for Dave, Dave was the only gentleman there I wanted to deal with great customer service knew what he was talking about and also wanted to help save the customer money at the same time... You dont find that kind of generasity anymore nowadays. I had 2 Pheonix Gold Ti 10' was at first kinda skeptical about how they would sound when I used to have 3 12' Kickers but after sitting in my new car with new system just absolutely much better than I could have ever pictured it being. Way cleaner sound and just the job was second to none they did a great job... Thank you again Dave and your crew for doing what you do best.!. I will be back to get my indoor speakers done here after the exceptional job that was done on getting the subs done... TJ Patrick

I recently had door and rear speakers installed in my 1968 Mustang. Dave worked with me regarding my radio/speaker needs and he did an outstanding job. The sound from my radio is fantastic and I would recommend Car Tunes to everybody. They are great people to work with!

"...Don't take my word for it..."
I wouldn't be writing this testimonial if I didn't TRUST Car Tunes in Largo, FL with one of my most intimate possessions, my personal automobile! So, please prove me wrong. Find out for yourself and try their services once. Put their expertise to the test. You will not be disappointed. It isn't their keen eye for detail, or the great effort they put while enhancing your car every time, or even how affordable their prices are; it is the feeling you get after each and every visit when you see the finish product, as if it was the first time you got in your own car when you bought it. Thank You Shawn,Mike, Alex and Team.

Micheal and his crew were top notch. Few times in recent memory have i worked with a more accomodating and professional staff. I would recommend Car Tunes to anyone who needs this type of work.
Youre absolutely crazy if you go anywhere else.
Thank you Car Tunes!

I have used Car Tunes for both my personal and my business's customers' needs on everything from trucks to cars even motorcycles! Michael and the guys always deliver the highest quality sound at the fairest prices. No matter what kind project I throw at them they always exceed my expectations. Michael's knowledge of car stereo is by far the best of anyone I have ever dealt with in my 30+ years in the automotive field.

I've been coming to car tunes for years and of most recent I have gotten a very extensive amount of work done on my Infiniti G37s from an alarm to full audio and video through out the car. The work they do is unmatchable and it isn't comparable Michael and his tune staff are amazing and the work is flawless. The work looks all factory done especially since prior to all the work I have gotten done I wanted it all to look as close to OEM factory as possible and with some hurdles and minor bumps in the road they were able to give my family (wife and 4 yr old) and I all the excitement you'd expect. I would never go anywhere else best prices and quality you imagine and then some.

Michael and his team at Car Tunes is the only place to go for your audio needs. They are knowledgeable beyond belief, and most important, they listen to YOUR needs and wants, then recommend solutions.
Michael has assisted us twice, once for my wife's Mercedes and recently with our new (used) boat. It was a virgin install, Michael listened to our needs and wants, he asked for pictures of the vessel and finally offered us two options: a moderate and a blown out option.
After several discussions, Michael customized both options and lived within our budget. What we got is an unbelievable sound system with no distortion what so ever. We like it load when under way. We can turn up the volume to clearly hear the music in quality sound.
Our guest are always asking about our sound system and where we got it.
I am a Car Tunes customer for life, as long as Michael remains at the helm.
Thanks Michael
